Finlays welcomes the new Gender Action in Agriculture (GAIA) Principles, launched yesterday on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, to address root causes of gender-based violence and harassment (GBVH) in agriculture supply chains. Co-created by Ethical Trading Initiative, businesses, NGOs, trade unions, and experts, the GAIA Principles will help all stakeholders understand how to take meaningful action to address GBVH, in line with a Human Rights Due Diligence approach. Addressing GBVH remains a key priority for Finlays, and we support working collaboratively with ETI and our partners to drive systemic change across the tea sector. You can find the principles and an overview of what they mean here: https://lnkd.in/euHrUV4A
🔶 Today marks the 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗩𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 and the start of the 𝟭𝟲 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗺 — a global call to accelerate efforts to end gender-based violence and harassment (GBVH) in all its forms. GBVH is widespread and can affect anyone, including men. But it disproportionately impacts women: nearly 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 women and girls aged 15–49 will experience gender-based violence in their lifetime (excluding harassment). Certain groups face even higher risks due to intersecting characteristics such as sexuality, age, ethnicity, disability, and migration status. In the world of work, GBVH is often rooted in 𝘶𝘯𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘥𝘺𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘴 — dynamics that can be created or worsened by workplace structures and practices. Workers are most vulnerable when perpetrators know they will not be held accountable. Across global supply chains, GBVH frequently goes unnoticed, unreported, and unaddressed. Without a shared understanding and collective commitment from businesses and their partners, efforts to address the root causes of GBVH will remain fragmented and insufficient. That is why today — on the fringes of the 𝗨𝗡 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘂𝗺 𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 in Geneva, following key sessions on 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿-𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝘂𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 (𝗚𝗥𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗗𝗗) — we have launched the 𝗚𝗔𝗜𝗔 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀: https://lnkd.in/ebgmwgSt These 10 principles provide a practical, actionable framework for businesses to address the root causes of GBVH in commercial agriculture and fishery supply chains through both individual and collective action. The principles were co-developed with representatives from more than 90 public and private organisations as part of the Gender Action in Agriculture Initiative (GAIA). Funding for this initiative was generously provided by nine companies: ALDI SÜD HOLDING, Asda, Co-op, Lidl GB, Marks and Spencer, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Tesco and Waitrose & Partners. Special thanks to ETI's Gender Programme Lead, Heidi Chan, for her leadership, Hilary Murdoch and Caroline Poole for facilitating workshops and discussions with stakeholders in South Africa and Rachel Muthoga, Esther Muhia and Lorraine Kithinji CHRP (K) in Kenya. #16Days #EndGBV #BusinessAndHumanRights #GRHREDD #SupplyChains #GAIAPrinciples #UNForumBHR #HumanRightsDueDiligence #WomenInSupplyChains #UNBHRForum #BizHumanRights
